SDS Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 $200-$300 for a softball bat? Since when did a bat match the cost of a decent Home Theater Surround Sound receiver? For all you big men hitting Freaks and Synergies - do you hit from the women's tees too? Afterall - artifically adding 30 feet to your swing is like moving the fence in closer - just for you. Does anyone know of a decent bat for $100? You would think that should be able to buy you a good bat, but I'm not so sure anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Its money well spent actually. The Mikan bat is unreal! You can hit bombs with that one. Demarini makes some great bats too Do you bring a knife to a gunfight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Louisville Sluggers don't cost that much. Can't you use wood?* (James is not responsible for wisecracks made in the wood-is-p___s milieu). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in the age of Viagra any artifical means up pumping up one's manhood is "money well spent". Go get 'em tiger. You da bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Good god do I hate softball. Hate it with a passion. Most retard, no strategy game in the world. And the day I spend two hundred dollars on a bat is a day I get a check on reality. EDIT: I'm only talking about slow pitch. I have much respect for fast pitch.

Like I said- do you bring a knife to a gunfight? BTW I am in two leagues. One league you are allowed 3 HR per team- the 4th is an out. The other league you are allowed 1 HR- the second is an out. We also play with limited flight balls. If the bats are legal, and every team has them, why the hell not play with them? Everyone on the team pitches in 15$- wtf?

I thought this was the kinder, gentler wall. But, it seems even the creator can make statements that generate negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 one more comment- I usually use 30 oz Worth doublewall bat. Its blue and I am sure its under $100. Most of my team uses the Demarini so that bat goes dead quick. I am the only one who uses the Worth. I do love that Mikan bat too and use that sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your leagues limit HR's then why use a $300 bat if you don't need 50 more feet of manhood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I take it you've been to batreviews.com ...I couldn't believe it when I went to epinions and there was only one bat under $100...wow!

Sometimes I get under and it goes out, others I get on top and the ball is planted. Usually I hit line drive gappers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the "used" market is like.... 297039[/snapback] the problem is that most any bat that is actually approved by the ASA is apparently not worthy of BEING reviewed! All the reviews are from the banned list and maybe a couple 98 MPH ones for $200+... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 what are some good bats...I am going to buy a few bats this year for our firemans modified pitch league 297036[/snapback] The greatest bat there is is the Miken Freak- http://www.sportscloseouts.com./product-exec/product_id/126 http://www.sportscloseouts.com./product-exec/product_id/125 Demarini makes some great bats http://www.sportscloseouts.com./product-ex...ch+Softball+Bat Check out those pages too- Worth makes a nice bat too and very affordable, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 I was trying to look for info on the: DeMarini 2005 Ultimate Weapon Singlewall... It's $99. Which still seems outrageous, but I don't want to dent a cheap one either. My current 10 year old Louisville Slugger chatters my teeth with every swing. My hands hurt so bad after BP I need ibuprofen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like watching a ball you just hit go for a long ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
